On 23rd November 2023, the BMW Group Dialogues were first held in Dubai. On the eve of COP28, and in reflection of the COP28 UAE Presidency’s vision, the main topics of discussion were the regional energy transition and sustainable mobility.

The environment of the Middle East has long presented a challenge for the city, both in terms of its extreme climate and the continuous threat of desertification. Architects, engineers, and thought leaders gathered for the BMW Group Dialogues to share ideas, inspirations, and aspirations for the desert landscape, and to shape them into goals and vision for the city in the heart of the Middle East.
